Abstract
The peroxidase system oxidizes, 2,6-dimethylphenol and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol smoothly to the corresponding tetrasubstituted diphenoquinones; by contrast 2,6-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol given intractable products believed to result from the hydrolysis of intermediate chloroquinones. N,N,2- and N,N,4-trimethylanilines are readily oxidized by the peroxidase system whereas N,N,2,6-tetramethylaniline and N,N,2,4,6-pentamethylaniline are not oxidized. Furthermore p-aminobenzonitrile, ethyl p-aminobenzoate and p-aminoacetophenone are not perceptibly oxidized by hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase. The significance of these negative reactions is considered.
